During the past twenty years, innumerable books about the Third Reich have been published, but little attention has been paid to the women who lived alongside the Nazi leaders. Magda Goebbels (1901-1945) is arguably the most contradictory and the most intriguing among them.

What made a beautiful and intelligent woman go from being deeply in love with the ardent Zionist leader Victor Chaim Arlosoroff to marrying Joseph Goebbels, Hitler''s minister of propaganda and a ferocious anti-Semite? Indeed, in the eyes of many people she was the ''First Lady'' of the Reich, owing to Hitler''s lifelong attachment to her.

How could the devoted mother of six, the poster-child of family values during the Third Reich, turn into Medea and poison these six children? Anja Klabunde''s thoroughly researched and remarkable biography for the first time brings together these stunning facts.
